Chapter 2

*

          The school halls were filled with students as usual.

          Everyone were happy to see each other and were catching up on lost time since we rounded up the last session.

When we walked into the school, I still felt the dominance and respect we were usually accorded.

Students got out of the way, some whispering at the side, some junior girls blushing at the sight of the guys and some sending us shy waves from the side.

I wasn't a bully... No no, but the students at St Andrew high knew where their loyalty should laid.

With us, the Good kids.

We walked over to our lockers which were lined up together... Well maybe I lied abit.

Being rich had it previlages but trust me we never abused it.

"Well, well, well looks like the whole crew's here, ready to sail to dockvill".

I know that disgusting voice anywhere... Its always made my skin crawl.

Samantha Peterson, Head Cheerleader, Queen of sluts, Master of foul words and daughter of the Law representative of our distinguished school. 

"Hey... Look who just walked in Ugly and the minions" AJ mocked.

"Hello Peterson" I greeted coldly.

"Anderson" She replied with the same cold shoulder.

"Didn't think you'd make it to senior year, given the airbag you call a brain still functioned, or did you seduce the entire Exam committee this time" I said as my friends oohed behind me.

"Well I guess you've finally taken notice of what killer features I have, unlike some people" Samantha said in her cheer uniform that was so short, it had to be illegal.

"Why I att... " AJ almost stormed at Samantha.

But the guys caught her in time... Its our first day of our last year at school... Wouldn't want to mess it up over something of less importance.

"I see you still haven't learned to tame your animal, and I've always taught so highly of people from England, they're always so sophisticated, am I right Beatrice".

Now you see why I hate cheerleaders, Samantha went too far this time.

I was about to drop the thunder on her when Ace put his arm on my shoulder.

"You know, for once you could atleast try to act mature" I think Ace being older than most of us made him more calm headed.

"Hi Ace, I didn't know you still hung out with the breakfast bunch, why not come with us... There'll always be a place for you" Samantha said and winked at Ace.

I was totally shocked and breathless, doesn't this chick know when she's being insulted.

"I'm sure Todd Wilson will be very pleased to know his girlfriend is inviting me over, now that'll be rich".

Everyone at school knew the bad blood that ran between Kim Ace and Todd Wilson. All because his Ex left him for Ace who dumped her within a week.

Ace might not look it but, his a Super Play Boy, behind that cold mask is a master of heart breaks.

By now the smile on Samantha's face was flushed and her face turned red.

She looked like she was about to say something when one of her minions Tasha whispered something into her ear.

She looked back at us "I'll deal with you all later" then she stormed away.

"Bye princess" Jack teased still holding AJ in place.

"Thanks Ace, I almost lost it there" He smiled and put a hand on my head before heading back to his locked.

Ace didn't talk much but he was one of my best friends and we always had each others backs

(Bell rings) 

Since it was a new session, we all had to move to the Gym for Orientation, like I wonder why I'll be sitted for the same thing every year.

But The principal always says you can never be over informed. I'm beginning to think the man's actually a hippy.

*Two hours later*

"I wonder why every teacher had to give a speech this year" Val complained. 

"Atleast you didn't have to give a speech as an honorary student" I said thinking about how that one speech gave me sleepless nights.

"You should be use to it by now, you've always been a top student" AJ tried cheering me up.

"I hope we all can get along and have a great school year ahead of us" Jack said imitating my speech in front of the whole school, which made all of us laugh.

"For what its worth, you did great back there" Ace said smacking Jack at the back of his head.

"Ow... Uh come on" Jack said rubbing the back of his head.

"Too bad she's sucks in the boyfriend course" Morgan said nonchalantly looking at her nails.

"Hey, don't do that, you know how sensitive Jess is about that subject" AJ said blocking my ears.

"But its true... Ugh fine, see you guys later, I'm busy anyways".

Morgan's like this most of the time, what you call....  straight forward and blunt.

Sometimes she goes too far but she's still our friend and apart of us. I took what she said personally but I won't hold a grudge.

"I'm sorry Jess, You know how she can be sometimes" AJ said apologizing on Morgan's behalf.

"You know, you can always come to me if you need someone to cuddle right" Jack said with a bright smile and we all laughed.

Jack's very playful but he has a sensitive and soft side to him which makes him special to each of us.

The warning bell rang... 

And since we all had our class schedule on our phones we knew exactly who had what and classes we shared.

"The bell'll be going off soon, so I'll get going, see you guys at lunch" Val left with her other friends.

Its nice seeing Val hang out with kids her age, sometimes I feel like she's growing too fast hanging with us.

It'll break my heart to see Zoe like that, but its her choice. 

"Well it seems first period, Me and Jack have Advance Math".

"Yea, a bunch of brainiacks, I guess that leaves me with Ace, we have English" AJ said.

"Its more of a composition class" Ace said.

"Alrighty, catch you guys later" Jack said as he took my bag and dragged me along just before the bell rang.

"Bye~~~~~~" I shouted from down the hall way.

As usual Mr Belon's class went by a breeze, Advanced math was harder than the normal Geometry and Calculus the others practice.

But we've made it this far, all we have to do is to work hard towards the state Exams.

After advanced math I proceeded to History where I would meet up with Ace and AJ.

As usual, History was boring even with AJ sitting beside me, like no one in the 21 century cares about the bad decisions our past leaders made. The country's already screwed up Pooky dook.

So I got out this romance novel I've been reading, Its about a handsome but poor man who meets this beautiful maiden but she's the daughter of a duke.

Her Father wants her to become the concubine of an old but wealthy merchant who is older than her father, so she elope's with her lover.

I've always wished someone would take me on a romantic adventure, even a high school romance with dram would do. 

I needed some excitement in my life, not always getting it from a book. 

I sighed. 

"Hey, are you ok?" AJ asked with a concerned look on her face.

I smiled back "I'm fine" but I don't think she was convinced.

She gave my hand a little squeeze and went back to what she was doing while I went back to my book.

*Few Classes later* 

Its finally lunch time, I'm starving. I walked with Ace to the cafeteria to meet the others and get lunch.

By the time we got in line we saw the gang at our usual table. 

Another perk of being a senior is you don't get the same crappy food everyone gets.

They say its to leave a good memory of the school with you. 

So today's special was Pizza with different toppings.

I went for Pepperoni with green peppers, my favorite, I knew Ace was going to get the cheese and bacon.

We went to the vending machine and got our drink.

"I totally forgot how boring classes were, I bearly survived" I heard Morgan say as me and Ace arrived the table.

"There's our Junior Shakespeares" Jack said.

I smiled and sat down joining in on the conversation.

"Hi Jess, long time no see" I lifted my head and... 

"Hey babe, I've been looking for you everywhere".

Ethan Floyd, Captain of the school's male soccer team, My former best friend and big time crush, now Morgan's boyfriend.

"Hello Ethan".

Third person's POV 

In an unrelated world, The forbidden book shines bright as the prophecy is being unleashed.

"I think we've finally found our Savior....."
